Haha yes!
This weekend I had some free time. Around slow turns, the car had been making a rubbing noise, which I knew wasn't from the tires since the ride height isn't low enough. Visual inspection of the tires proved that, so I took the car to the dealer to have the rear dif fluid flushed and replaced. While there, I struck up a convo with the service writers, mine owned an E30 and the other owned an E39 M5. They then hooked me up with employee pricing and cut the labor rate in half. I walked out of there with estimates for the front bumper, a door ding, a rear bumper ding, the rear dif flushed and replaced with BMW oil and XM booster and the car detailed for $233. $42.50 of which was actual labor.
Safe to say I've found my new dealer in Charlotte! The one in Greensboro was awesome, but 94 miles away from here so not worth the drive.
Rest of the car checked out great like usual. A few people were amazed at the condition the car was in.
Today, I replaced the windshield cowl on the car with a new one. The old one had faded and the rubber was splitting and cracking. Took me a little over an hour after fighting with some retaining clips on the wiper arms. Looks so good now, can't even see the tray anymore.
The next item to be replaced is the hood vent itself. That should be a little bit easier, it looks to be clipped in entirely.
